Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jacobs has claimed that the 52-cap star is definitely on the ‘shortlist’ at the Emirates Stadium.
The CBS Sports reporter said: “He’s on their shortlist, but they haven’t made a move and nobody’s made a move for Tielemans yet.
“That’s really interesting because when one club makes a move, it might trigger others into action.”
